HISTORY

"The mouldering ruins of the Castle, with its
tremendous triple tier of vaults, were long the abode of the proud family of the
St Clairs, whose titles at one period of their history would have wearied a
herald ... This mouldering fabric has been often described in detail, with all
the legendary additions extracted from Father Hay's manuscript."
